internet problem

That’s bad.  Try disconnecting the Ethernet between the Linksys and the PC, wait about 30 seconds, and plug it back in and see if you get DHCP.  (I had this problem a while back with my Linux DHCP server, and that was the solution)

Also, look in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog (depending upon your variant – there may be another place also but these are where I know of) and see if your PC was asking for DHCP…

Yes.... i wrote the instructions on configuring the linksys to work with the modem down so all I am concerned with is connecting to the linksys. Sorry I didn't mention that. 

     The router doesn't seem to be handing out ip addresses. I didn't change anything in the pc so DHCP should be enabled.

Assuming that you are DHCP(ing) (and you better be), you can also:
$ ip route show|grep 'default via' 
Whatever address you see, is your router.
YMMV...

Looking only at the ‘connecting to the linksys’ issue. 
If the Linksys is giving out IP addresses to the pc like it should (and assuming the PC is set for DHCP), you should be able to figure out the ‘correct’ IP address of the Linksys. 
So, do ‘ifconfig’ on the PC to see what address it got (192.168.0.123 or 192.168.1.2 or whatever), and change the last octet to 1 and you should have your linksys IP address.   Hopefully ;-)

well it isn't really two routes. 1 is a modem router.

Michael,
If I remember correctly, you have 2 routers. You should refer to your old conversations on this message board where myself and others described how to setup your network. I would never have hit the reset button, your issue was probably with your cabling.

        Here is my setup: 
        I have the modem (actiontek pk5000) in the living room for my xbmc box. From there I ran a hardwire into the office into a router (linksys wrt54g) which feeds a computer in my brothers room and my main computer. 

        I decided to move my main computer and after I did so the internet after the linksys would not connect. so I unplugged the linksys and reconnected the power but that didn't help. SO I figured that maybe I needed to reconfigure it so I pressed the reset button for 30 seconds and connected the internet port to the computer  and restarted the computer but I couldn't get into the configuration page (192.168.1.1). I seem to remember that it was 192.168.101.1 but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong?
